I haven’t done a link post in several weeks - mostly because I’ve been too busy to do much exploring on the internet. I’m slowly starting to check out the blogs of ladies I met at Blogher, and will likely have things to share next week.
In the meantime, please read these posts. These are [...]

Bryan has a reputation among our family and friends for making things happen with video and computers (he recently strapped a video camera to his life vest when we went white water rafting), so we received all sorts of requests for my reading to be recorded.
He sent me to BlogHer equipped with our Flip, [...]

I know you’re wildly anticipating the video of my BlogHer Community Keynote reading, but I would first like to torture you with a few more pictures of my trip to San Francisco. (yawn).
I friend I’ve known forever and ever drove up from San Jose to spend the day with me on Sunday, and we walked [...]

Sunday morning after BlogHer I took it easy, then a friend drove up from San Jose to meet me in the city. We scored free parking after a pay lot’s pay machine rejected my five dollar bill. TAKE THAT.

So I know it’s not The Daily Show or anything, but even so, I can now say to someone, “I was waiting in THE GREEN ROOM…”
On the set list, I was #16. Angela (who was last) wondered out loud if anyone would stick around to listen to us late readers. I think her nerves were [...]

Just in case you missed it, I am here:
Blogging will be… well, WHO KNOWS what could happen. But you will likely get more of the scoop if you follow my twitters.
I would love to give a big shout out to the guy in seat 24D on my flight from Seattle - he loaned me his [...]

You know you want me to wear this on Friday night when I read my post at the Blogher Community Keynote. And you know I’m just as tempted to do it.
I mean, seriously, look how skinny I look in this picture! I swear on the lives of both hot ABBA chicks that I am [...]

Recently a friend - author and movie critic, Jeffrey Overstreet - had the privilege of interviewing Andrew Stanton, writer and director of WALL-E and Finding Nemo. As these things usually go, the interviewer typically has only ten minutes to ask a series of question, sometimes even less.
In Jeffrey’s account of the interview, he says [...]

Two years ago I attended the BlogHer conference in San Jose thanks to a very generous friend, Ponzi, who had an extra sponsorship pass to give away. The whole trip worked out perfectly because Bryan was working down there that week, met me and the kids at the airport, and entertained them all weekend while [...]

I’m not going to Blogher this year. At first I wasn’t phased by this reality, since it really wasn’t practical for me financially or logistically anyway. I was willing to accept that.
But then the BlogHer chatter on the internet started pulling at my Poor Me strings this week. I have kept in touch this [...]

There was much discussion at BlogHer around the community of the blogging world, built largely through commenting on other sites, responding to comments on your own sites, linking to one another, and so forth.
One question I forgot to ask in the many sessions I attended was regarding comment etiquette. When someone new [...]

If BlogHer Day One was the Bad Hair Day of social networking for me, then Day Two was the Glamour Shot Day.
I met many wonderful women, had great conversation, and stretched myself as a networker. I don’t have time this morning to fully give my impressions of the day and introduce you to my [...]
